#3 for me. Keeps my handwriting just a little bit more legible.

#4 doesn't work for my writing style it seems. I end up wearing large flats on the lead anyways.

Am I the only one who’se only ever used wooden pencils in my life? In my part of the word basically no one used those plastic ones.

Where's the BIC pencil?

But why no

I usually write in pen, only reason I'd use pencil is if I know I need to erase.

So... #5 I think. Simple, reliable, easily replaced.

No Pentel P209? WTF?

Also, some of these options are not pencils. For a pen I'd go for 5/6.

Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.

1, I have one of them branded from my prior work, it's an excellent pencil.

Oh no... I'm that weirdo that likes the Papermate mechanicals.
They are just so simple and reliable. You could crush one and still get it to write again if you needed too and it had the eraser (that sucked) built right in that you never used but felt good looking at it and squeezing against your thumbnail when you were bored. Just had to put better quality lead in it.

But man Zebra makes the pens and pencil I would actually intend to use if I was planning it.

none of the above of i may. i choose this:

Pentel Twist-erase 0.7 is the proper answer.

#6 because I need all that extra eraser

Hope I don't have much left to write if choosing #2(pun is a package deal). But it would be my pick.

Props for #2 being a #2, but of these I usually go for 6. My personal favorite though is Pentel twist erase.

Though all the kuru toga enthusiasts here have convinced me to give them a try.

I also buy 5s in bulk, those shitty bic pencils are the "little brother" option when my D&D players forget their own writing instruments.
